Dámaris carbaughKind Words

The voice of the talented Dámaris Carbaugh is distinctly beautiful, from her rich and warm tones to lively and bright melodies. When she speaks about her journey of faith, it is amazingly vulnerable and transparent. Overall, her singing, her teaching and her personality shine brightly a life deeply touched by Jesus. But an often unsaid aspect of this ministry that is so marvelous is a behind-the-scenes person, Rod Carbaugh. Few ministries are true family ministries done well. This husband and wife complement each other so well. Their partnership is one that really points others to the beautiful mystery of the future union of Christ and His bride, the Church! christopher yuan, dmin speaker, author, bible teacher | bearer of christ ministries |www.christopheryuan.comauthor of out of a far country: a gay son's journey to god, a broken mother's search for hope and giving a voice to the voiceless (doctoral research)

"Whenever I have the delight of sharing the platform with Dámaris, I know the women in the audience will be totally blessed by her ministry. Her passion for the Lord and for his Word is so powerful, her joy in Christ is so contageous, it flows straight from her heart into ours. Her voice is clearly a gift from God, and she uses it so beautifully and with such humility. When the last note rings out, I don't think, 'Wow, what a singer,' I think, 'Wow, what a Savior!'"Liz Curtis Higgs, conference speaker and best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible

Damaris exudes the JOY of her message…and women left the weekend committed to reading the Word of God! She is a treasure to the Body of Christ.”Candy Davison, Women’s Ministry Coordinator, Sandy Cove Ministries, North East, MD

Rod and Damaris love Jesus! Their passion for Christ and for the gospel runs deep. They are true servants and lovers of the Lord and of His people. Any time I am around them, I am drawn irresistibly into the presence of God. His Spirit is evident in their lives and ministry in an unusual way. Nancy Leigh DeMoss, author, Revive Our Hearts radio host

​Damaris brings that unique blend of great vocal talent and anointed interpretation of each song she sings. Her joy is infectious as she sings from the heart and she has a great heart! (Her husband is a pretty good audio op as well.) Roger Flessing, former TV director, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Damaris Carbaugh sings with her heart. God has used her to minister His grace to me in some of my deepest valleys as well as bring me into His presence with joy. She and Rod are precious servants of the Lord and I am honored to be their friend. Ruth GrahamAuthor and Speaker

Of all the Christian musicians I know in the world, none ministers more from the heart and is more clearly led by the spirit of God than Damaris Carbaugh. Her choice of songs is not only scripturally correct but spiritually convicting and really touches the heart. Her life and testimony are an example of what God can do with a person wholly committed to Him.Joe Jordan, Executive Director (retired), Word of Life Fellowship, Inc.

I’ve always been deeply blessed by the ministry of Damaris Carbaugh, not just by the words she sings but by how deeply she feels them! Her music always points us beyond ourselves to Christ, who is the focus of her life and ministry. Let her bless you with her songs of inspiration and hope! --Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Moody Church, Chicago ​

Damaris Carbaugh is one of the most moving musicians I've ever encountered. Her voice is a unique mix of mellow tones and soothing harmonic charm that one doesn't encounter often. More importantly, the anointing on her life to deliver God's word through song is evident not merely by the way she sings but the way she lives. She and her family are a gift to the body of Christ. Your ministry will be blessed immeasurably when Damaris stops by. Priscilla ShirerBible teacher and author

I’ve met a lot of people who have a great heart for Christ, and I’ve met a few people who are gifted artists in song. Rarely have I met someone who embodies both of these strengths in such a complete way as Damaris Carbaugh. If you like good, Christ-honoring music from a gifted artist with passion, depth, and flair, then you’ll love Damaris’ ministry! –Joe Stowell, President, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids MI​

Damaris has ministered at many of our Christian Working Woman events, by popular demand! Our women really appreciate her music, her heart for the Lord, and her genuiness. In addition, I greatly value her servant attitude. She has the unique ability to be totally professional without being a prima donna! And you get Rod as well; they're a great duo! We look forward to many more ministry opportunities together.Mary Whelchel, The Christian Working Woman

​Many times it's been my privilege to minister the Word after Dámaris Carbaugh has sung the Word and blessed the hearts of the people. Her ministry magnifies Jesus Christ alone. Without being "preachy," she beautifully weaves the Scriptures into her presentation. She fulfills Psalm 89:1--"I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; to all generations I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth" (Ps 89:1 NASB). She is a choice servant of God and we thank the Lord for her. Warren W. Wiersbe, Author of more than 100 books.

Time and time again our ministry has been enriched by the ministry of Dámaris Carbaugh. Leaving entertainment far behind her, Dámaris leads us all into the presence of God with her biblically sound and worshipful music. I would encourage any pastor to not miss out on the opportunity to share these profound and heaven-moving moments with their congregation and Dámaris. Dr. Michael Youssef, Senior Pastor and Rector of The Church of the Apostles, Atlanta, GA

Every time I hear Damaris, my heart is freshly inspired with a deeper love for my Lord. As a family, we have been blessed immensely by her demeanor and her gift from God. I pray she will continue to bless many even as she has blessed us. Ravi Zacharias, President, RZIM

I recently heard your new CD, "The Heart of God." I can't begin to tell you how deeply moved I was. Thank you so much for including my songs, "Tell Jesus" and "How Rich I Am." You have a beautiful voice and your interpretation has such feeling and sensitivity. The lyrics to "Tell Jesus" have such significance for me right now because of what I'm going through. How good to know that we can talk to Jesus -- that he listens and that he cares. ---John W. Peterson, songwriter [Click on the logo.
